241 Ga. App. 541

In the Interest of M.M., a child.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Reconsideration Dismissed December 16, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael R. McCarthy, Dalton, for appellant.

Maxine C. Morris, Dalton, for appellee.

SMITH, Judge.

The mother of M.M. filed a petition in juvenile court to terminate the parental rights of her child's biological father. The father responded with a petition to legitimate M.M. After a hearing, the juvenile court entered an order terminating the father's parental rights. The father appeals, contending that the petition should have been filed in superior court. We are constrained to agree, and we therefore vacate the judgment of the juvenile court.
